Dynamics of Smart Structures is a practical, concise and
integrated text that provides an introduction to the fundamental
principles of a field that has evolved over the recent years into
an independent and identifiable subject area. Bringing together the
concepts, techniques and systems associated with the dynamics and
control of smart structures, it comprehensively reviews the
differing smart materials that are employed in the development of
the smart structures and covers several recent developments in the
field of structural dynamics.
Dynamics of Smart Structures has been developed to
complement the author’s new interdisciplinary programme of study at
Queen Mary, University of London that includes courses on emerging
and new technologies such as biomimetic robotics, smart composite
structures, micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and their
applications and prosthetic control systems. It includes chapters
on smart materials and structures, transducers for smart
structures, fundamentals of structural control, dynamics of
continuous structures, dynamics of plates and plate-like
structures, dynamics of piezoelectric media, mechanics of
electro-actuated composite structures, dynamics of thermo-elastic
media: shape memory alloys, and controller designs for flexible
structures.
